Bitcoin Knots Patch Aims To Tie Up Ordinals

The recent surge in popularity of Bitcoin Ordinals has sparked both excitement and concern within the Bitcoin ecosystem. There has not been this much of a polarising topic since the block size wars.

MEV Attacks Ramping Up On Ordinals

The emergence of Ordinals, a protocol that enables the inscription of data directly onto the Bitcoin blockchain, has introduced a new dimension to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

What Are Recursive Inscriptions?

Bitcoin Ordinals and Inscriptions are branded a new way to use the Bitcoin blockchain, but it’s really an old idea that has been re-hashed on the chain and takes advantage of the SegWit discount.

Ordinals Continue To Drive Increased Speculation With Inscription-Backed Loans

If there’s one critique of Bitcoin, I thought was a feature, not a bug; it was the claim that it was a boomer coin; it wasn’t Turing complete, so it couldn’t hold all sorts of token standards and non-native blockchain data stuffed on it. All you can do with Bitcoin is buy it, store it, […]
How To Inscribe An Article On Bitcoin
